[edit] Plot

At Sandy Cheeks' treedome, Sandy has a lot of work to do, and SpongeBob SquarePants is helping her rake the leaves. She is fretting and worrying, and SpongeBob asks her why. She explains that she's going to be hibernating in a week (or seven days or 168 hours), so they have to do lots of work done quickly, so they can play/exercise because "she can't burn carbs in her sleep". SpongeBob commits all the time he hasn't already given to Eugene H. Krabs to her. The two then do numerous outrageous extreme stunts. SpongeBob, being not as tough as Sandy, can barely avoid getting killed, and at one point is reduced to a literal puddle. He can't escape doing these things, so he decides to hide under Patrick Star's rock. Sandy then runs to the Krusty Krab and makes everyone look for SpongeBob. But because they all have to look in horrible places (sulfur fields, poison sea urchin cove), they hide under Patrick's rock. Still frantic, Sandy starts overturning the town looking for SpongeBob. The people discover that SpongeBob is under the rock too and throw him out. Squidward Tentacles calls out, "Oh, look it is I, Spongebob, out here in the open!" Sandy is relieved, mistakes the voice for SpongeBob, and gives him a bone-crushing hug. Then she goes crazy again and tries to get SpongeBob to go "atom smashing" before she hibernates, but the SpongeBob is exhausted from all the insane antics, and stands up for himself. Then Sandy falls asleep and SpongeBob is relieved. He falls asleep too. Then Patrick Star (who is eating ice cream and carrying a grocery bag) comes up to his rock house where the other residents of Bikini Bottom are hiding and says "Who are you people?!"

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

• On YTV airings when SpongeBob says "Life is as extreme as you wanna make it!" captions say "Life is extreme!".
• Sandy hibernates in this episode and Survival of the Idiots, but in Bubble Buddy, she migrated.
• Apparently, sand takes on the underwater role of snow, as in this episode, two kids are seen making a "sandman".
• Running gag: We see a professional skier dressed like a goody-goody two-shoes kid and holding a lollipop. He simply replies with, "uuh, I can explain."
• In Hebrew the episode is called "מחפשים את בובספוג" which means "Looking for Spongebob"
• This is the first time we hear Patrick's quote: "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!", the second was in "I'm With Stupid".
• When SpongeBob and Sandy fall a great distance on their bike and land on their wheels, SpongeBob's weight shifts to his knees, revealing two bones coming out of his head.

[edit] Quotes

• Sandy: Spongebob's gone missing!

• (Squidward looks at Mr. Krabs looking happy)

Mr. Krabs: Man the lifeboats!

(Squidward is unhappy.)

• Patrick: (at the end of the episode) Who are you people?!

• Skier: (whenever he shows up) Uhh... I can explain.

• (Two children have just made a sandman)

Girl: Maybe, if we sang that song the children sang, he'll come to life.

Boy: Ready?

Girl and Boy: (singing) Oh, there once was a sandman that--

(Spongebob crashes into sandman, the girl and boy watch in shock.)

Spongebob: (from inside the sandman) Life is extreme as you wanna make it! Whoo!

Girl: Maybe we didn't sing it right...

• Man with lollie pop: Uh.. I can explain...
